James Buchanan Memorial

This is a man who probably would have been totally forgotten about, he would be in the dustbin of history, he'd be a President that none of us except for dorky tour guides and people who like to know weird things for pub trivia would know about if it had not been for his niece, Harriet Lane and this is the part of the story that I find really interesting.” Tour Guide Tell All continues its exploration of Malcolm X/Meridian Hill Park by taking a look at an often-forgotten presidential memorial found in the park. Join us as we discuss James Buchanan, often regarded as one of the worst presidents in history, Harriet Lane, a woman ahead of her time, and a 15 year fight to place a presidential memorial in D.C.
